Is Michelle a functional medicine practitioner?
Michelle is a certified Functional Medicine health coach and a Root Cause Protocol consultant. She is not a doctor. She looks for the root cause with you and works alongside your medical care, never instead of it, so please keep seeing your doctor for anything medical.
Is Michelle a nutritional therapist or a nutritionist?
Michelle's training is in Functional Medicine health coaching, and she is a Root Cause Protocol consultant, so that is how we describe her rather than as a nutritional therapist or nutritionist. Food is a big part of the work: she helps you look at what you eat and drink, how you move, sleep and cope, and what your body needs.
Is there a local health coach on the KZN South Coast, near Port Shepstone or Margate?
Yes. Michelle, a certified curiosity-led health coach, works from The Good Health Shop in Shelly Beach, between Port Shepstone and Margate. A session is a proper conversation about your health, mapped to a clear, practical next step. Call 039 315 5351 or pop in to book.
Is The Good Health Shop's approach holistic?
We look at the whole picture rather than a single symptom: minerals, food, stress, sleep and emotions. That's why Live Blood Analysis, Sclerology, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, Bach Flower Remedies and coaching sit side by side here, and why your story comes before any test or product.
Is The Good Health Shop a natural health clinic?
We're a health shop with in-store services rather than a medical clinic. Alongside the shop, you can book Live Blood Analysis, The Sclerology Clinic, Bach Flower Remedies, the Root Cause Protocol and health coaching with Michelle. It is health coaching and education that works alongside your medical care.
What does a root cause approach to chronic symptoms look like?
We ask why your body is behaving this way, rather than chasing the symptom. Through Live Blood Analysis, Sclerology, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis and a lot of listening, we look at the foundations (minerals, food, stress and sleep) and then move one small step at a time. If you have a chronic condition, keep your doctor involved; we work alongside your medical care.
Who offers the Root Cause Protocol and mineral balancing in KwaZulu-Natal?
Michelle at The Good Health Shop in Shelly Beach is a Root Cause Protocol consultant. The protocol focuses on mineral balance, with magnesium, copper and iron, guided by your tests, including Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis and blood panels. Pop in or call 039 315 5351 to book.
How does the Root Cause Protocol balance magnesium, copper and iron?
As we like to put it, your body runs on spark plugs called minerals. The Root Cause Protocol looks at magnesium, copper and iron together, and your tests (HTMA and blood panels) guide a personalised plan of nutrition, supplements and lifestyle, so you aren't guessing. Amounts are worked out with you in a consultation, and if you take medication, check with your doctor too.
